Danny's obituary

Danny Thomas Ayers, born September 11, 1946, at Morton Plant Hospital, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family. A proud graduate of Dunedin High School, Danny dedicated 20 years of his life to serving in the United States Air Force, where he earned the respect and admiration of many.

He was married to Ruby Williams Ayers for 55 wonderful years, and together they built a loving family that includes their daughter, Jennifer Ayers McCoy, and son, Danny Thomas Ayers Jr. Danny was a cherished grandfather to 10 grandchildren and a proud great-grandfather to 2.

Danny was known for his warm heart and infectious spirit; if you knew him, you loved him. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know him.

According to Danny's wishes, we want to inform everyone that we will not be holding a memorial service.
